I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 300 Someone Killed the King Again?

Having hundreds of thousands of soldiers sounds like a lot of things, but the material consumption it brings will make the cheeks of those who do it twitch with distress.

From gathering after the spring sowing to disbanding before the arrival of the summer harvest, three tenths of Zhishi's grain and fodder stock was consumed in one fell swoop.And this has not counted the consumption of the rest of the army, and if you count it, the entire Zhishi's food and fodder inventory has been consumed by more than half in one year.

However, Zhiyao thinks it is worth it, and firmly believes that he has created a first example for Zhuxia, which is small enough to be good for the Zhi family, and big enough to make a good start for Zhuxia.

I'm not joking. Taking Jin's ethos as an example, martial arts is only limited to certain classes, and has little to do with Li Shu who are not nobles or quasi-nobles.

"Eldest son, the meritorious ones have been rewarded, here is the list, please have a look at the elder son."

What meritorious person?In fact, Zhiyao not only needs to train, but also needs those young and strong to perform some tasks of suppressing bandits.

Don't think that if the Zhi clan is strong, there will be no outlaws in the territory.

It is precisely because of the huge fiefdom of the Zhi clan that there are savages entrenched in many places under its rule. The savages who live their lives honestly are of course harmless, but many savages will go to various villages for petty theft, and some savages even commit crimes. The thing about robbery.

In the past, the Zhi family had carried out arrests of savages, and the results were actually very good. If you can't stand the savages, you really can't catch them all.

Why are there so many savages?Their own endless reproduction is one of them, and then there are nobles who have lost their fiefs everywhere. The subjects under their rule have no family master to fend for themselves, or the defeated families scattered to contribute to the increase in the number of wildlings.

Zhiyao just glanced at it, and only looked at the part with more rewards, and would not look at it if the amount was not enough.

"'Scholars' go to the countryside to meet wild people and make them my people. Don't delay." Zhiyao said.

Ran You responded respectfully, and said reverently: "The eldest son's action has benefited all people, and it has benefited all generations, and it will be praised by all generations."

Zhiyao thought to herself: "Although I want to increase the population of the family, doing things that increase the effective scope of rule is indeed a good thing from the perspective of the country."

So what's the matter?There is nothing too complicated, it is nothing more than Zhiyao giving a few sticks first, and then sending people to talk to the savages everywhere, and make a promise to protect them if they belong to the management of Zhishi.

In Zhiyao's view, the core of this matter is quite simple, and it is really not complicated in reality, ignoring the fact that what she does is leading the times.

Once the savages in a certain stronghold agree to belong to the Zhi family, the "shi" who goes there will become the local administrator.

In that case, the local savages are under the protection of the Zhi family, under the management of the Zhi family, and under the control of the Zhi family's law. After they are produced, they will pay taxes to the Zhi family, and they will become a part of the Zhi family. It seems that Zhishi got more, but the savage actually got a lot.

Take the fact that the Zhi family would confiscate the savages if they wanted to, and the savages would flee if they were not killed or captured. However, like savages, there is fierce plunder or territory grabbing.

Therefore, the savage roams outside the rules and seems to be quite at ease, but in fact there is no security guarantee at all, and there is no formal channel for advancement.This is the status quo of savages.

There was a big move, and then he started to attack the savages. The Zhi family not only recruited young and strong armed forces, but also conducted low-intensity checks after training. A whole set of procedures was clearly arranged.

The season has come to the summer harvest stage.

The places where the Zhi family used troops were only in Qi and Wei... No, there is no Wei now, it should be said that it is the old land of Wei.

That's something that Zhi's core executives know, and the rest of them are still using troops against Zhao's in their cognition.

Don't think that the news of Zhi's taking "Jinyang" by water attack will spread quickly. In the age when news was blocked, Zhi's did not brag about it to the outside world. Even if some people have been paying close attention, even if their people inquire about the news, they will Can deliver the message.

Now the family with the largest number of soldiers is the Wei family. They have already taken down "Caimulberry" and the surrounding Zhao family fiefs, and the attack on the "Zhao" land is still in progress.

Wei's early investment in the "Zhao" land was three "divisions" and three "brigades". Later, he increased the strength of one "division" and only used troops in the "Zhao" land, which was close to a legion.

In addition, the Wei family used troops against Zheng Guo this year. At the beginning, they invested two "divisions" of troops, and later added another "division" to attack the northwestern part of Zheng Guo. They must invest more troops according to changes in the situation.

Wei's series of military actions at least allowed Zhiyao to analyze the crucial point, that is, Wei's internal defenses, and the possibility of taking the initiative to complicate the civil war is extremely small.

During the summer harvest, Zhiyao went to inspect the farming area east of "Handan", and then embarked on the road to "Xintian".

The reason why Zhiyao needed to go to "Xintian" was that Jin Jun Wu passed away.

The monarch of the Jin State once tried to rise up, but he was deceived several times due to his limited ability.

If Jin Junwu can trust Zhao Yang and give support, perhaps the Zhao family will get great benefits, but the monarch's authority can also be withdrawn.

The mutual distrust between Jin Junwu and Zhao Yang resulted in a loss for both sides. Of course, the Zhao family is not good, and the death of the monarch is full of doubts.

Yes, Jin Junwu's death was full of doubts, especially there were many members of the Zhao family in the palace city, including Zhao Huo's eldest son, which added a lot of doubts.

Zhiyao, who returned to "Xintian", was of course the first to greet Zhishen.

"Shangjun's death is not like homicide, nor is it the end of life." Zhishen looked extremely tired, and he should be busy finding out the cause of the monarch's death recently.

Zhiyao asked: "Are there suspicious guards, servants, maids?"

With such a big incident, it is correct that Zhishen is sitting in "Xintian", or he still needs to notify the rest of the Qing who are not in "Xintian" to return.

Wei Ju commanded the Wei family's army to fight in the "Zhao" land not far from "Xintian". Under normal circumstances, they would arrive in seven or eight days, but they still didn't come back after ten days. Should it be in a pinch?

Hu Jie and Zhong Quan are both in "Xintian", and Zhong Quan attaches the most importance to Jin Junwu's sudden death.

The complexity of the matter now is that Jin Junwu seems to commit suicide, but the finger can easily be pointed at Zhao.

What is incomprehensible is that it is of little use for Jin Junwu to commit suicide to add the last straw to the Zhao family. Even if the Zhao family is defeated, there is no need to kill Jin Junwu.

The vernacular is that Jin Junwu has long lost power, and no one is willing to obey orders, which means that the power in his hand cannot be stretched, and killing him will not benefit at all, and it will not be effective to plant anyone.

Zhiyao hardly thought about it, and said: "There are doubts, my lord may determine what Zhao did."

Based on Zhishen's understanding of Zhiyao, he already knew that there would be such a follow-up.

So, Zhishen has arranged for Mrs. Zhao, and thinks this is the best way to deal with it.

Throwing Jin Junwu's death on Zhao's head, firstly, Zhao's own name will be removed, and secondly, it will avoid involving other people and causing greater civil strife, which is really appropriate in itself.

On the day after Zhiyao returned to "Xintian", she could be regarded as waiting for Wei Ju to come back.

After another two days, the meeting was held at Lao Zhi's house.

Zhishen, who presided over the meeting, first asked Zhong Quan to report on the investigation of Jin Junwu's death.

"The Shangjun must have been killed by the Zhao family." Zhong Quan didn't say that because he was instructed to do so, and he was suspicious of that.

No objection was raised.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the Zhao family did it or not. The situation needs to be the Zhao family's doing. If there are other doubts, it can be regarded as non-existent.

What is more realistic is that the Zhao family is now being beaten by everyone, and one more crime of regicide is purely a black spot in the definition of history.

Besides, it's not that the Zhao family has never killed a monarch before, and it's just like that one more time.

After quickly reaching a consensus, how to deal with Zhao Kai also quickly became unified, and then Zhiyao had to speak out.

"The Zhao family no longer has any direct bloodlines in the country, so it is impossible to kill them." Zhiyao said quietly.

Some people don't need to speak loudly, others still need to listen.

Zhiyao's voice was not loud, and those who didn't hear clearly dared not speak up for a while, waiting for those who could understand to express their opinions first.

No, Han Geng immediately said: "Yao's words are reasonable. It is the foundation of etiquette not to make sacrifices."

Those who didn't hear clearly before, they listened to Han Geng's opinion, and they even guessed it.

Wei Ju glanced at Zhiyao in surprise, and asked, "Where is it placed?"

But don't say that you want to give the "Zhao" city to Zhao Kai, don't blame Wei for jumping up if that's the case.

They mobilized a legion's strength to attack the "Zhao" land for nearly three months, and paid a lot of casualties. Even if they haven't conquered the "Zhao" city yet, there will always be a day when they will win it.

Get "Zhao" city and be taken by Zhao Kai?It's strange that Wei Shi doesn't jump.

However, Zhiyao remained silent.

Wei Ju looked at Han Geng, waiting for an answer.

Han Geng, who had just become the lord of the Han clan, immediately felt the pressure, thought for a while and said, "Maybe it is possible to return the old land of the Xie clan?"

The Xie clan ran away, either rebellious or rebellious, their clan members either fled or were killed, and the fiefdom has not yet been determined.

Zhishen made the decision with one word, saying, "Set aside a city for resettlement."

Who is willing to meddle in other people's business if it does not infringe the interests of anyone present here?

They regarded Zhiyao's words that determined Zhao Kai's fate as Zhishi at least obeyed the existing rules.

This time the civil war was provoked by the Wei family, smart people can also think that the Wei family wants to disrupt the development rhythm of the Zhi family, and they will inevitably have more thoughts in their hearts.

Such a powerful Zhishi is still willing to respect the rules of the game, which is great news for them.

Hu Jie and Zhong Quan met their eyes frequently, and because they had a lot of exchanges, they nodded to each other knowingly. A new situation will definitely emerge in the Jin Kingdom, and they intend to hold on to Zhishi's thigh and not let go.

"Your posthumous title, there is a vacancy for the position, so let's discuss it today?" Zhishen asked.
